Zemi Nagas; leaves for North Cachar |
| text: |
I had already read Soppitt's monograph on the Zemi Nagas. They were, one supposed, the same sad, shabby lot we had seen in 1938 along the railway. But they were akin to the Kabui, a tribe I had hoped to study and had seen; such notes as I had on the latter would be of use. Besides, the district was large and of great interest. There were other tribes, and archaeological remains which were well worth seeing. So North Cachar it was; and a month later I was on my way there up the Hill Section, with a Tangkhul staff and a wildly-excited Khamba. |
